The weather is only going to get worse. This is due to all the Satellite's that are being launched daily. They tear additional holes into the ozone layer and let the solar flares & winds enter, then drive the jet stream into a frantic, sweeping cold fronts into hot fronts. That is where all the climatic weather we are getting comes from. Read the book "The Aerospace Assault on Planet Earth". The book explains into detail how the ozone hole has increased from 235,00 square miles in 1980 to 16.8 million square miles when last measured in 2008.

Yep, read his book--although Mr. Torregiante did not mention it explicitly, he is the author of the book he cites. Unfortunately for his theory, reliable estimates of the ozone hole http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/201... indicate it has been shrinking.

In any case, it;s going to be a rough vintage in much of France. Have to say it's been on the cool side here, although Sonoma growers are touting this as a second straight incredible vintage.
